boukenSakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025④.
Sake I brought
This is the first sake brewed with Omachi by Sensuke.
Not from Okayama, but from Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture.
It came with a box, but I threw it away because I originally planned to drink it at home😅.
Everyone said it was different from Senzuke's usual sake.
Maybe it's because it's fire-aged, but it tastes a little more subdued.
There is also a draft version of this, but the draft is only available in one bottle...
I tasted the draft when I bought it, but it tasted more flashy than the hi-ire.
I think people probably liked the raw one better 🤔 because it was more of a yo-yosu-like strain.
Next time please release the raw in shugou bottles too 🙏. boukenI bought it because not many people posted about it in Echizen Cape. Purchased at Icoma
It has a nice and cool taste. The balance of sweet and spicy is really good. I think there are a lot of Echizen-misaki that you can drink forever.
The closer to room temperature, the sweeter the taste comes out.
Banana-like 🍌. boukenNew brands handled by Icoma Sake Shop
Currently there is no other distributor in Hyogo.
Mystery Chee-ya used to carry it...
Chilli and slightly effervescent. Fruity and juicy fruitiness. The final impression is that it fades out with a gaseous and bitter taste with a hint of sourness. I haven't had Nanamizu for a long time, but it's still delicious!
I love drinking Tochigi in June too 🥰(I posted it in July though 😅)
I can now buy shichimizu in my neighborhood, so my love for Tochigi might increase 🤔. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, bouken😃!
Oh! Nanamizu is close to you in Hyogo too ‼️ This makes me happy 🤗It's delicious 😙.
I'll be waiting for more Tochigi love 🥰👋. boukenJune's Ikoma Tasting was at Shudzuki!
I'll skip the ones I bought and the ones I drank in the past, but here's what I picked up!
As the name suggests, it is rich and has a gentle sweetness.
I think it becomes a little more refreshing when warmed up to lukewarm.
Personally, I enjoyed it at room temperature.
For some reason, this sake matched well with the Pakistani beans that came with the entrée 🤣. boukenI've been drinking Manazuru but this is my first time at Tabayashi.
New brand handled by Icoma Sake Shop.
First time in Hyogo 😳.
It has a slight sweetness and is refreshing like a summer sake, but it has a strong umami and core flavor. When you take it out of the refrigerator and the temperature rises a little, you can drink it by itself. boukenSake purchased at the Ikoma tasting event with Nemuchi and Vero Vero.
Refreshing acidity. Sweetness with a hint of apricot.
I got the impression of sourness, then sweetness, then sourness. The final taste is a bit bitter, but it finishes crisp and clean.
Although it is a summer sake, I like it because it is not light and is very drinkable 😋. boukenSake Brewery in Tojo, Shobara City
New brands handled by Icoma Sake Brewery
Teishakukyo Gorge is located in the vicinity of Tojo, and on the second day of an elementary school excursion, we stayed at Teishakukyo Gorge.
We couldn't go to Teishakyo Gorge because of bad weather😅.
After a little while in the fridge, it has a pineapple-like flavor and fullness. A little pungent in the second half. It is a very beautiful sake with no unpleasant taste. Looks like it should be served warmed, but it's totally delicious cold or chilled.
I can also taste nuances like orange peel.
It may seem spicy when it is fresh out of the refrigerator.
Also, it may seem spicy when drunk on its own. boukenAfter some twists and turns, we managed to arrive at Ikoma Sake Shop💦.
Wakabisu wanted to make a sake like Koshi, so they released Wakaebisu Plus
Sake made with MK-3 yeast from Mie and KA1 yeast from Kumamoto.
Fruity-sweet but refreshing. Muscat-like.
But I think I prefer Kami no Ho which I drank the other day 🤔.
I drank some other sakes like Tabayashi and Morinori, but I already posted them or bought them in the past, so I omitted them.
I bought the TABAYASHI at a later date ✨
I was asked by the store owner how much I drank! I don't remember the rest except that the shop owner asked me how much I drank and Nemuchi ruffled my dog like Mr. Mutsukoro 🙄.
I didn't drink after I got home because I was too tongue-tied 😅.
I'd like to learn to use a vomit bottle at the June sake fair because I think I'll be in trouble if I drink all of it 😌. まつちよHello bouken-san 🌞.
By the way, when I was at Buchan, Icoma-san said that bouken-san's hands sometimes shake 🤣. boukenIcoma-san is very outspoken 🤣. boukenThe last one is Kutsu Ryu in Kitanosho.
Rice is made from Kutouryuu
I thought it was fruity when I drank it at the Hankyu tasting in the past, but this time I felt it was sharp and dry.
When I told them that I felt a little discomfort with the taste, they confirmed it by tasting it.
He told me the reason for the discomfort, but I can't say it here🤫.
They sell raw sake at KITTE, but I'm curious how it tastes 🤔. 日本泉新米新酒 ふなくちとり純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過槽しぼり boukenThe base liquor for the assemblage that preceded the first one.
I've tasted it twice before, both times with subtle impressions 💦.
This time the flavor was more robust than the last two times I tasted it.
Not my favorite type of wine, but it's tasting better.
It didn't have any flavor before, but it's tasting better lol.
I wonder if it's better to let it sit 🤔
And then I tried Assemblage Vol2.
Less sweetness and more complexity than Vol1.
I think Kouko was a good essence for this one too. boukenThe lady next to me was drinking and I thought I had never had this Yizushin before, so I chose it!
It tastes like muscat.
It goes well with cheese as it says.
I had a glass of the original assemblage sake recommended by the store owner.
As written in the fourth photo, the base is apparently Nippon Izumi.
The owner said that people have different opinions about whether it is sweet or spicy, but I felt it was sweet. I think it's because they put Kouko in it, so I felt it's gorgeous and the Kouko effect is quite strong 🤔. boukenRevisited about 2 hours later and entered again.
The second welcome drink was a Kisenju draft sake!
It was sweeter and a little darker than the first Omachi! boukenNext is Kakoya
I had a drink at an event at Kobe Hankyu in the past.
It was sweet and fruity, but also a little matured because it had been aged for a few years, so it had a classic feel.
I left the store once and came back 2 hours later 😁. ねむちHi bouken 😊I tasted this sake with you before and talked with the brewer 🍶It was a fruity sake, but it was a valuable experience to drink it aged 😋. boukenGood evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
We drank together at Hankyu 😁.
I was going to buy it when it was in stock at Icoma, but I missed the timing, so I'm glad I was able to drink it this time 😋. boukenToday, I went to Ruikoma Sake Shop to participate in the Tachibana StampVal event.
Two drinks and a cheese for 500 yen!
I would like to get a stamp and go to various stores to spin a rattle, but I don't go to other stores, so...
This is a hidden sake? This is "Juraku Taikoh" sake.
3,300 yen for 720 ml.
It is a very limited sake, limited to 100 bottles and only available at the opening of the brewery.
Polishing ratio 38%.
It is gorgeous, fruity, and sweet, but it has a strong umami flavor even though the rice is polished a lot. It is extremely delicious!
I heard that the person who drank it afterwards bought the whole stock 😳.
Before drinking this, I had a welcome drink of Kisenju Junmai Ginjo Omachi Unfiltered Unrefined Harajuku, but I forgot to take a picture of it... boukenI went to Ikoma Sake Shop with the intention of buying Wakaevisu Plus, and they said, "If you are looking for Wakaevisu, you should wait a little longer because it will be available. I'm sure you'll like it. I bought this one a few weeks later 😁.
It's fresh and very fruity with a little bit of gas. The Wakabisu Risshun Asa Shibori that I drank last year was delicious, but this one is even more gorgeous, sweeter, and tasty 😋.
Some of the liquor stores that have it in stock are posting on SNS that it looks like they let the Risshun Asashibusi sit for a while. 本州一Doors-fresh-純米吟醸生酒おりがらみ 
boukenPurchased with Shirokodile and Sawahime Shiboritate at the Icoma tasting.
It is not as sweet as Senbon-Nishiki Orikagara and Shirokodile, but it has a good sweetness and a strong flavor.
It is made with 1801 yeast, but I have the impression that it is not very floral.
Personally, I prefer Senbon Nishiki Nakakumi Origara or Shirokodile!
I also like the Doors series label!
When I drink it again, it's fruity, sweet and delicious!
I get the impression that it leaves a fruity aftertaste.
And I heard it's not exactly the best in Honshu, but the best in Honshu😅. ポンちゃんHello bouken 🐦.
I'm not familiar with this brand, but all of the ones you are drinking seem to be easy to drink. ❣️ Hiroshima, I haven't had much of it except for a few gifts, so I'd like to drink it when I come across it 😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, bouken 😃.
About the label! As you know 😅 we like it too👍. boukenPonchan, good evening 🌃
Honshu Ichi, I recommend it to anyone who likes fruity sake 😋.
Hiroshima has quite a lot of sweet ones, so if you find one, you can try it 🤗. boukenGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃
Of course I know who you are 🥳.
It seems they are changing the label because it's a different series than the traditional kura flavor 🤔Doors=new door? boukenWell, I haven't drank Tochigi sake recently, and I looked at my past posts, and ahhhhh!
I love Tochigi 🥰Sorry for slacking off 🙇.
I bought it at Ikoma Sake Shop with Honshu Ichi.
I think it's been a while since Sawahime arrived 🤔.
It has a strong umami flavor and quite a bit of acidity.
A little bit like a Western sake.
A little bit alu-like at the end. I like this kind of strong and dark sake.
Long time no see Tochigi Ai🥰. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, bouken 😃.
Yea I was worried 😅I wonder if I did something wrong 🤔I didn't think you already forgot about Tochigi 😨.
I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night 😥I was distracted by drinking alcohol 🍶 which I can't drink😇.
Love Tochigi 🥰 sounds good 🥰. boukenGood evening, Jay & Nobby.
I'm very sorry for making you lose sleep 😅
No, no, no, no... I have over 600 check-ins and I can't drink 🤣.
My excuse is that I haven't been able to find a Tochigi drink that I want to drink 🙄. 本州一白麹 Doors-shirocodile- 直汲み純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 boukenPurchased at Icoma Tasting
Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Fruity sweet taste like pineapple and a little dry.
It's not too sour and has just the right amount of acidity because it's made with a portion of white malted rice instead of all of it.
The label is cute and I think it is a sake that should be better known. マルGood morning, bouken!
I also bought this one in Hiroshima 🚙I was attracted by the word and jacket in the corner of my head that it was the best in Honshu, but it seems I was right 😙.
I'm looking forward to it 😊. boukenHi Maru!
I was surprised to see you bought the same one 😁.
It was fruity but not too sweet and not too sour, exquisite and delicious 😋. boukenPurchased at Ikoma Sake Shop with two Rairaku CRAs.
This year they collaborated with Hyogo Prefectural Agricultural High School.
It seems they are using Yamadanishiki grown by the high school students.
Other Morinori products include Hanategami, a sake made with yeast collected from salvia flowers at the agricultural high school.
Slightly effervescent with a strong umami flavor. It is slightly acidic. The latter half has a complex sweetness and a slightly bitter taste.
Even though the specs are different, Morinori has a unique and common taste, doesn't it?
It's delicious and never gets boring.
It's definitely better after a while than fresh out of the fridge!
It becomes fruity and sweet as time passes after opening the bottle.
One of the best sake I've had this year! boukenSake purchased at the Icoma tasting
All of them were delicious, but the reason why I bought them was that I couldn't seem to find them anywhere else.
Yeast is Utsukushima dream yeast, Sake strength +3
It's fire-brewed, but it's fresh, sweet, fruity, and delicious!
It seems a little hard, so I wonder if it would be better to let it sit for a few days.
When I drink it again, it tastes like melon and it's really good.
I thought it was rare to find this sake at Yodobashi😅. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
